RUSSIA IN CENTRAL ASIA.

ASSSsH sh
The latest advices show that Rus
sian troops are advancing on India by
new route. Heretofore the plan
of the Russians has been a gradual
advance to the borders Of Afghan
istan and through Herat to India.
This has been accepted as the best,
if not the only route. But it seems
that q better one has been discovered
by passing through Karategin, q
province of Eastern Bokhara.
Karategin is on the northern edge
Of the great Pamir Plateau, and is
not three hundred miles from waters
which flow into the Indus. For q
time the Russian surveyors have
been forced to withdraw from Kari
fistan, which lies only a short dis
lance north Of the Punjaub, from
which flows, as is signilied by its
name, the five great rivers of India.
But this withdrawal is only temper
airy. The advance of the Russians
into the heart of Central Asia has
been like the steady flow of q
mighty stream, it may be INSTRUCTED
for a time, but soon the obstruction
is swept away and the tide flows on.
There is nothing more marvellous
in history than the building by Rus
STA of the great Trans Caspian rail-
way, the surveyors of which are now
seeking in Karategin the passes
through the Hindoo Koosch mount
aims that lead out on to the fertile
plains Of India, and down to the
Indian ocean. The constructed loco
motive has moved with the advanced
guard of the Russian army, which
left as it's trail a completed railway
over the painless sands of deserts,
which had baflled and turned aside
the countless hordes of the armies
of other days.
Slowly but surely the Tartar,
transformed into the Russian, turns
back TO the lands from which, CEN
turtles ago, his race came to overrun
all Asia and a large part of Europe.
Checked in his march to the Allan
tic, the Tartar changed from his
nomadic ways, and founded an en-
pire, mighter than that over which
Caesar ruled, which to-day can put
1000, 900 soldiers into the field, and
which extends from the western
shore of the Pacific ocean, across
two continents, until it rests upon
inlets from both the northern and
southern Atlantic.
Impelled by that same desire for
conquest, that same restlessness
which has always characterized the
race, and perhaps by an unknown
longing for the homes of former
generations of his race, the Tartar,
now the Russian, has been slowly
but surely absorbing the country
that was the birthplace and home Of
his race, and casting longing eyes to
the bright waters of the southern
sea and the warm suns that fertilize
the great Indian peninsular.
1t is merely question of time,
and no very long time either, when
the heads of the columns of the
Russian will debouch from the passes
of the Hindoo Koosch upon the
grand plateau from which flow the
five rivers, including the holy Gan
ges, There they will meet the Anglo
Saxon, who has so long dominated
that country, and it requires no pro-
phet to foretell the result. The
Russian empire will be bounded by
three oceans instead of two

KISSED HER IN THE CORRIDOR.
Capitol Guide Popham's Misconduct
Under the Great Dome.
IYashtnaton Letter il. Balttntore Sun.

Washington Letter in Baltimore Sun.
The recent rumors of the misconduct of Cap
itol Guide Popham led to action by the author-
ties, and yesterday morning Mr., John Popham
Jr., was confronted at the architects office of
the capitol by Miss Blanche Wakefield, of An
Mandate, Va, who alleges that while guiding
her through the capitol he kissed her in one Of
the corridors. Mr.. Popham denied the accusa-
ton, and Architect Clark and Sergeant at Arms
Leedom sat in judgment on the matter. The
investigation was involved at the outset with
another matter. 1t appeared that Miss Wake
field father had made application Friday
night to the Guide Popham for $50, and that
Popham had given Wakefield a bogus check
Miss Wakefield, with indignation, denied
any knowledge of this transaction, and
her father declared that he desired to avoid
publicity, as he understood his daughters pic
ture would be put in the Police Gazette, and
he asked Popham for SOFAS a loan, because he
wanted to visit his dying mother in Ohio and
had no money. Miss Wakefield testified that
she, with Miss Minnie Thorne, of Pscataway
Md, visited the capitol short time ago, and
that Guides Popham and Boden came forward
to conduct them. She went with Popham and
Miss Thorne with Boden. Mr.. Popham says the
girl said Let's draw straws to see which one
we'll take" Afterward she and Popham be-
came separated from the other two and Pop
ham suddenly clasped her in his arms and kissed
her. She drew away from him Indignantly, and
soon afterward left the capitol with Miss
Thorne. The investigation was adjourned in
order to procure the attendance of Miss Thorne
and get her testimony.

The Girl and the Girdle.

From the ArgOHdut.
The girdle has grown to be a monstrous fad
with the girls. This morning, in an elevated
car, found myself beside an acquaintance who
has some pretenSe TO social position. Her slim
figure was encirced by huge silver girdle, from
one side of which dangled forty-six little chains
At the end of every chain was a trnket We fell
to talking about them and looked them over,
while she chatted about the history of every one.
There were fourteen Roman coins, a latch key,
penholder case, vinaigrette, skating medal, but

HE PAINTED A SPARROW.
The Rascally Trick of Small Boy in
Cleveland.
From the Cleveland Press

From the Cleveland Press.
Alas how oft even in the everyday walks Of
life, do men chase what appears to be the bright
sunbeam Of success only to find in the end that
they have been hustling after ignis fatuus
with spring bottom pants and turned paper
collar, or, mayhap, book agent with an in
growing book, This gloomy fact was well Illus
trated ON st. Clair street the other day: On
that thOroughfare lives u small boy whose down.
ward career would bring the blush OF shame to
the cheek of a toboggan slide
He is said TO have expressed Tirm conviction
in favor of open saloons on Sunday, ana has
1900 freclles each one more prominent than
the other. The large freckles appear to be tied
on, and hang from his unwiped nasal organ and
cheek bones both singly and in clusters: Besides
his firm conviction and freckleS he also had q
sparrow, and thereby hangs a tale. 1t would
have been more of a tail if the sparrow had been
older and the boy hadn't pulled most of ut out.
The boy only seemed to have one redeeming trait
about him. He had an artistic streak in his
composition. But even this seemed misguided
and perverted.
He painted the sparrow a bright yellow, and
allowed it to hop into the street. A little girl
caught sight of 1t and gave the alarm. Then
the freckle-faced boy laughed until the tears
ran down his cheeks, and he fell off picket
fence to see seven men, nineteen BOYS, two old
maids and water spaniel chase what they sup
posed to be a valuable canary bird up and down
the street and through the busy maTts of trade
The crowd gradually increased, and when the
sparrow sought, in the catch basin at the street
corner, that cessation from worldly troubles
and eternal rest and repose which must come
to all sooner or later, hundreds crowded around,
and nine policemen rushed peTspiringly up to
find out what was the matter A fate seems to
send man to tackle every emergency, so in
this case she sent a youthful hero who paled
not before the perils of the catch basin and the
sewer, but, putting aside al fear and his black
ing box, went bravely to the rescue. A muflied
shout of triumph came from the catch basin,
and the strong youthful arms and still stronger
odor soon brought the rescued to view.
Tenderly he threw the little drowned sparrow
in the gutter and boisterously he wiped the mud
and yellow paint off his hands on the green
sward Then he simply remarked rats and
Athens, get your hair cut, hair cut, while the
crowd said never a word as it iptoed in seven
teen different directions to fill suddenly remem-
bered business engagements but in each indi-
viduas breast there sprung up wild, almost UNI
comfortable yearning to firmly embrace the boy
who painted that sparrow yellow, and then kick
his vertebrR up through the top of his Uranium

The Governors Special Message

In the special message which the Governor
sent to the Legislature yesterday several inn
portant subjects are dealt with The two
most important ones, however, are the West
ern and Atlantic Railroad lease, and the ne
ceSsity for a Commission of Pardons
The Governor points ont that while the
lease of the Western and Atlantic will not
expire until after the meeting of the next
Legislature it will expire before there will
be time for that Legislature to de
termine upon the proper course to
pursue with regard TO it. lie thinks,
therefore, that the present Legisla-
ture ought to decide what shall be done
with the road at the expiration of the lease
His view is the correct one
That the Governor ought to have assist
ancc in considering the applications for
pafdons, reprieves and communications of
sentences there is no doubt. When Gov.
Gordon came into Office he found COO of
such applications awaiting action. II he
had given his whole time to considering
them he could not have disposed of all of
them inside of several months Filed with
these applications are letters, recommends
tons and statements of errors or new evil
dence. To go through these docu-
mcnts conscientiously takes great deal of
time, and requires an immense amount of
work-more in fact than the Governor
can give to them and attend
to his other duties. All the
applications ought to be attended
10 promptly. II person who is resting
under the sentence of court be innocent
he is entitled TO his freedom at the earliest
possible moment There ought, therefore,
TO be a commission To dispose Of these ap-
plcations, and if the Legislature looks at
the matter in the right light it will agree
that there ought 70 be.

the septennate question in the German
Reichstag and in the special mission of Mgrs
Persico and Gauldi in Ireland, though there

New York United,

From the Boston Herald Und)
The opponents of President Cleveland's nomi-
nation as the candidate of the Democratic party
have about thrown up the sponge in New York,
and Gov. Hill, who is a shrewd politician, and
has, therefore, never sought the position for
himself, is said to be in full agreement on the
that this Intelligence will find him in Europe.
In connection with the protracted hot weather
it would have been too much for him here.
There still remains TO him the privilege of
prOphesying Mr.. Cleveland's defeat. however, in
which role, ii will be remembered, he much dis
tinguished himself three years ago.
